A good compresser for painting the whole car will average around 1.2k+ or so. If your going to be paint just once or twice you might want to consider just renting one from Home depot or such. The problem with getting a small compresser is if you try and paint the whole car the compresser will have a hard time keeping up and will start to get hot and it will through off your painting so don't consider that much of a option. A good gun will depend on the style you prefer. Some good sites to check out.....
